There is an independent Debain-based distro (Instant Grid[0]) that
packages many grid tools. Perhaps you know some of their maintainers.
Their "packaging" experience could be useful...
The project seem quite inactive regarding "stable" releases, but there
is a "testing" branch updated often. I have tried it and it's very
useful.

+1
I think this could make the packages more "Globus-independent".
